Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are mostly formed during the incomplete
combustion of organic materials, but their importance and presence in materials science …

Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

Chemical reactions and physical processes responsible for the formation of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons and soot in hydrocarbon flames are reviewed. The discussion is …

This review of the role of reaction kinetics in combustion chemistry traces the historical
evolution and present state of qualitative and quantitative understanding of a number of …

We demonstrate that stable and relatively unreactive “environmentally persistent free
radicals (PFRs)” can be readily formed in the post-flame and cool-zone regions of …

A relatively short kinetic mechanism (93 species and 729 reactions) was developed to
predict the formation of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and their growth of up to five …

The current understanding of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation within biomass
burning (BB) plumes is limited by the incomplete identification and quantification of the non …

This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art of numerical models used for thermochemical
degradation and combustion of thermally thick woody biomass particles. The focus is on the …

Abstract EPFRs (Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals) are a class of pollutants that
have been identified as potential environmental contaminants due to their persistence and …

The growth of hydrocarbon molecules up to sizes of incipient soot is computed in premixed
laminar flames using kinetic Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic methodologies (AMPI …
